The five questions we asked
Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.
- 1“Best suppliers of injection molded plastics in Iowa”
- 2“Who supplies custom injection molded ABS housings in Iowa”
- 3“I need a Iowa injection molded plastics partner for a 100,000 unit consumer electronics enclosure run, who should I talk to”
- 4“Top injection molded plastics suppliers in Iowa for consumer product OEM buyers”
- 5“Which Iowa injection molders can handle overmolding on metal inserts for structural components”
- 6“List 20 injection molded plastics companies in Iowa with their specialties.”the roster question
Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
